Silent Strike from the Tide
Brineborn Cutthroat is a compact tempo piece that rewards reactive play. This Merfolk Pirate arrives with flash so it can slip into combat or block after your opponent commits resources. The body is fragile but the printed ability turns surprise plays into incremental threats by placing a +1/+1 counter whenever you cast a spell on an opponent's turn.
The card fits naturally into blue tempo and spell-heavy builds where interrupting an opponent and getting value in the midgame matters. Use the Cutthroat to punish overextensions, enable favorable trades, and snowball a late turn into a lethal threat. Near Mint condition and English print make this Foundations Jumpstart listing a clean pick for players who want a tournament ready copy. Add it to your deck and start turning instants and flashes into board presence.
